<h4>Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: The War Begins, An Appetizer (2nd Update)</h4><h4></h4>


    Xuan Hun hurriedly nodded, "Yes!"


    "Hmph, when we catch this wench, I’ll definitely make her suffer so much that she’ll beg for life but unable to beg for death!"


    Qi Xuanfeng’s eyes were full of venomous hatred, for as soon as he heard the name Zhong Anan, he felt his cheeks burning with pain, a sensation that nearly drove him mad.


    Qi Sixiang noticed this and was about to speak when suddenly, a streak of fire shot through the air and appeared before him.


    With a casual wave of his hand, Qi Sixiang caught the streak of light.


    Silence descended upon the scene.


    Everyone knew this was the Divine Fire Order, specifically used by the Heavenly Fire Divine n to transmit messages.


    At that moment, Qi Sixiang burst intoughter, his mirth quite jubnt.


    Bai Tu, standing to one side, asked, "Chieftain Qi, what’s the matter?"


    Qi Sixiangughed, "Nothing much, it’s just that someone sent over a scene from the Cursed City!"


    "Oh? A scene from the Cursed City?" Bai Tu was a bit startled.


    Qi Sixiang nodded, "That’s right!"


    As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a scene emerged in the divine pavilion through a water mirror.


    Disyed within the water mirror was the sight of Xue An, An Yan, Hu Ying, and others sitting atop the city walls, enjoying a hotpot together.


    Seeing this, everyone was taken aback.


    And then there was a burst of roaringughter.


    "It’s reallyughable that at this time, they still have the heart to eat. Xue An’s guts must be really big!" many sneered.


    Xiong Xiao, however, was fixated on something else entirely.


    He greedily stared at the stunningly beautiful An Yan and Hu Ying in the mirror, licking his lips as he said, "These women are so beautiful! Once this Xue An is killed, I will capture all the women around him and enjoy them thoroughly!"


    With those words, he let out a sinisterugh.


    But just then, a cold voice echoed from afar, "Too bad, you won’t live to enjoy it!"


    "Who’s there?" Everyone was startled.


    In the same moment, they saw Xue An, leading the people of the Taiyin Deity n, stride confidently into the Heavenly Fire Divine Pavilion.


    "It’s Xue An!" someone eximed in shock.


    Boom!


    The whole ce was like being struck by a magnitude nine earthquake, everyone shook.


    Qi Sixiang, Bai Tu, and others abruptly stood up, their faces full of shock as they looked at Xue An.


    Especially Qi Sixiang, who couldn’t believe his own eyes.


    He knew that this Heavenly Fire City, and even the entire Heavenly Fire Desert were under hisplete control.


    To put it inly, even if an ant crawled in, he would be aware of it.


    Yet, he had no inkling when Xue An and a big group of people walked in.


    How could Qi Sixiang not be terrified?


    Standing amid the crowd, Qi Xuanfeng, upon seeing Zhong Anan behind Xue An, couldn’t contain his rage, "Bitch, you dare to show up?"


    Zhong Anan’s expression was icy as she nced at Qi Xuanfeng, then turned her menacing gaze towards the panic-stricken Xuan Hun.


    Though she didn’t speak, the fierce killing intent in her eyes made Xuan Hun shake and nervously hide behind Qi Xuanfeng.


    At this moment, Xue An surveyed the entire ce and said indifferently, "Is everyone here?"


    His voice wasn’t loud, but reached the ears of everyone present.


    In an instant, the Heavenly Fire Divine Pavilion became eerily silent.


    Many looked at Xue An with disbelief in their eyes.


    Because no one had anticipated his sudden arrival.


    Wasn’t he just eating in that water mirror image just now?


    What was going on?


    Many were filled with doubts and uncertainty, so when faced with Xue An’s questioning, the entire ce became quiet for a moment.


    Xue An smiled, "Don’t be so serious, I’m just asking! Since everyone is here, that makes things easier!"


    Speaking, Xue An lifted his head to look at Xiong Xiao with a faint glint in his eyes and said indifferently, "Seeing the aura on you, you must be one of those Wutong Divine Sect people, right?"


    For some reason, when faced with Xue An’s gaze, even the notoriously fierce Xiong Xiao subconsciously took a half-step back.


    Because the moment he was fixed by Xue An’s stare, he felt that he wasn’t facing an ordinary youth but a mammoth colossus.


    It seemed as if a primordial giant dragon was hidden within the slender-framed young man in white, causing even Xiong Xiao to feel a tinge of fear.


    But almost immediately,


    He realized his loss ofposure, then viciously stepped forward, raging, "Yes, I am Xiong Xiao, the Sect Hierarch of the Wutong Divine Sect, you...".


    Before he could finish his speech, Xue An didn’t even say a word, directly extending a hand as if it were carved from jade and pped down.


    Boom!


    A massive palm shadow, like a mountain copsing, smashed down on Xiong Xiao.


    Xiong Xiao’s savage fury was ignited, and he roared furiously, "How dare you, boy!"


    With that, he churned his divine power throughout his body, intending to withstand the blow.


    But he had underestimated Xue An, or overestimated himself.


    The moment they made contact, a session of bone-crunching sounds like firecrackers burst forth from within Xiong Xiao’s body.


    Then Xiong Xiao screamed as he was smashed directly into the immensely hard ground, his stature instantlypressed by half.


    Moreover, Xiong Xiao’s skin was pierced by his own shattered bones, revealing a ghastly white forest of broken bone stumps amidst the flow of blood.


    With one palm,


    The Sect Hierarch of the Wutong Divine Sect was smashed so hard by Xue An that he continuously spat blood, on the verge of death.


    The whole ce instantly fell deathly silent.


    Those who had been prepared tough at Xue An were nowpletely dumbfounded.


    Even the apanying members of the Taiyin Deity n were stunned in ce.


    Because they too had not expected Xue An to be so mighty, hardly uttering a few words upon entering the fray before taking action.


    In the quiet, Xue An indifferently said, "I could hardly care who you are, but just for that sentence you just uttered, this palm was merely an appetizer!"


    Hearing such an overbearing statement from Xue An, many around fell silent.


    Even those who were faint-hearted had already quietly stepped back, attempting to distance themselves from Xue An.


    Meanwhile,


    Qi Sixiang also came to his senses from the shock and stared coldly at Xue An, saying in a chilly voice.


    "Xue An, I do admire your guts! How daring must you be to actually disrupt the peace in my Heavenly Fire City! Are you tired of living?"


    "That’s right! Xue An, you killed my son, and I haven’t yet settled that score with you. Yet today, you dare toe knocking on our door?" Bai Tu of the Ancient Sword Divine n also snarled menacingly.


    Even Xiong Xiao, who had been nearly ttened by Xue An’s palm, managed to spit out arge mouthful of blood at this moment. He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled sinisterly as he stared at Xue An with a vicious gaze.


    "Xue An, your strength is indeed remarkable! But do you really think that one palm has finished me? You are still too naive!"


    As he spoke, the majority of Xiong Xiao’s body, which had been smashed into the ground, suddenly exploded.


    But there was no stter of blood, nor even fragments of flesh and bones; rather, they started to converge back together instantly.
